Parton says social distancing is no reason not to celebrate Easter. “Somebody said the other day, ‘Oh, we’ve had a rough week.’ Just think about the rough week that Jesus had.” Well, she has a point.

I am neither Southern nor evangelical Christian (I’m a non-practicing Quaker from the Pacific Northwest), but despite all that and the silicone Dolly strikes me as the most genuine, sweet celebrity I have ever seen in action. I bet she smells like lilacs or rosewater, like any grandma of her generation (yes, I’m aware…

I know, right?! And in the context of the music “video,” they almost seem like background performers.

Dear god that is HORRIFYING 😂😂

I just remember that Molson Ice sponsored a concert in the mid-’90s in the most frozen part of Canada. They were on the bill along with Metallica, Hole and Veruca Salt. That’s the only time I’ve ever heard of them.

That rings a bell; google says “yes”.

She died about 4 years ago. If you like Beverley, try Mary Balogh, if you haven’t already.

Oh God, this is perfect. I want this to be my only memory of this whole miserable period. The addition of the “interpreters” was genius.

Omg! This is amazing! It’s so catchy, and the looks on the sign language interpreters’ faces as they had to sign “moistly.” Lol. Oh man, this is good stuff.

Terrific remix (I’m going to add it to my current Spotify playlist). The sign language interpreters absolutely make the video.

Wasn’t there a band from Canada named Moist, though?

All right, so I watched this thinking that he was really just trying to say “mostly” and it just didn’t come out right. But then I found a story on the CBC web site: So, you mean to tell me that someone in the Canadian government deliberately wrote the phrase “speaking moistly,” with someone else entering that same phr…

It would get me banned on Boing boing; “moist” is a forbidden word. 

I’m reading a variety of genres; historical romance (Mary Balogh and Jo Beverley; Beverley died and the library never bought her last book in hard copy), supernatural mystery/suspense (Karen White’s Tradd St. series, and Laura Anne Gilman’s Paranormal Scene Investigations), catching up on some things that were only…

I swiped this and posted it on BackTalk.

I am well; bored mostly. I’m finding it very difficult to get motivated to do anything though. Internetting far too much, but I did finally start checking books out from the library on overdrive; there are quite a few titles that they never got in hard copy form, and I’ve never gotten around to reading them. I prefer…

Chilly weather will keep people out of the parks too; last weekend they were out in droves, but today when I walked the dog, it was pretty empty.

Hey everyone! Anyone drinking? I have fresh watermelon and celery juice with vodka, of course, because it’s a freaking pandemic and it’s almost seven, which is a respectable time to light the drinking lamp.
